Catalytic Converters

Catalytic converters are key components of the exhaust system that are responsible for reducing harmful substances in exhaust fumes. Thanks to them, vehicles meet strict emission standards such as Euro 5 or Euro 6, which translates into a lower environmental burden and better air quality. In the Global Parts automotive store you will find a wide selection of used car parts , including catalytic converters , perfectly matched to brands such as BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others .

What functions do catalytic converters perform?

Catalytic converters are an important element of the exhaust system that ensures:

• Reduction of harmful gas emissions – They neutralize nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC), reducing their amount in exhaust gases.
• Efficient Exhaust System Operation – Supports the proper operation of other components such as O2 sensors and secondary air pumps.
• Meeting emission standards – Allows vehicles to be used in accordance with applicable environmental regulations.
• Improved engine performance – A properly functioning catalytic converter supports optimal engine operation and fuel combustion.

Used car parts , such as catalytic converters, are an economical solution that allows maintaining high ecological standards and vehicle efficiency.

Why is it worth taking care of catalytic converters?

Efficient catalytic converters play a key role in protecting the environment and vehicle efficiency. Common problems include:

• Blockage or contamination – Soot or deposit build-up can reduce exhaust flow, reducing system efficiency.
• Catalyst Core Wear – Mechanical or chemical damage can lead to loss of neutralizing capacity.
• O2 sensor problems – Failure of lambda sensors can affect the proper functioning of the catalytic converter.
• Catalytic converter overheating – Resulting from improper fuel combustion or exhaust system failure, it can lead to permanent damage.

If you need replacement, choose used car parts , which offer high quality and durability.

How to choose the right catalysts?

• Matching to the vehicle model – At Global Parts you will find catalytic converters that perfectly fit BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others .
• Technical condition - Used catalytic converters should be free from mechanical damage such as cracks or deformations.
• Exhaust system compatibility – Make sure the catalytic converter works with other components such as lambda sensors and mufflers.
• Durability of materials – Choose catalytic converters made of high-quality materials such as platinum, palladium or rhodium, which ensure long service life.

Car parts , such as catalytic converters, must meet emission standards and be properly selected to suit the vehicle's specifications.

How to take care of catalytic converters?

• Regularly clean your exhaust system – Prevent the build-up of soot and deposits that can block the flow of exhaust gases.
• Lambda Sensor Check – Check the operation of O2 sensors to prevent damage to the catalytic converter.
• Avoiding Overheating – Maintain the proper fuel/air mixture to prevent the catalytic converter core from overheating.
• Repair or replacement on time - In case of damage, choose car parts , which will restore full functionality of the exhaust system.
